Step 1:
Fill the washing machine with hot water and run a cycle.
Step 2:
Add 4 cups of baking soda and run the cycle again. Running the cycle will help the baking soda to mix evenly with the water.
Step 3:
Let the water sit for 30mins- 1hr. While doing this, soak a small cloth in vinegar and use it to clean the other exterior part of the washing machine. Make sure you scrub very well and clean every nook and cranny, you can use an old toothbrush for better effect.
Step 4:
Drain the water, then use the vinegar-soaked cloth to clean inside the washing machine just in case the cycle didn't get every part of the washing machine.
Step 5:
Lastly, fill the washing machine with hot water and let the cycle run again but this time, let the water drain after the cycle.
Step 6:
After cleaning the washing machine, be sure to open its lid to prevent mildew. And there you have it. You now have a clean, mold-free and fresh-smelling washing machine.

How To Clean A Front Loader Washing Machine

Step 1:

Step 2:
 While the mixture is setting, soak a small cloth in vinegar and use it to clean the other exterior parts of the washing machine. Make sure you scrub very well and clean every nook and cranny, you can use an old toothbrush for better effect.
